| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I called my husband at 8:27 pm to tell what I had just seen, there was no explanation that I knew of other then a blue to light blue looking fire ball but reminded me of some of the better meteors we have seen with tails, told him it was really high in the sky and didn't know for sure, and I knew it wasn't a meteor shower the next one this year I believe is October 3 this year. It was pretty neat to get to see this on my drive home from work just as my light turned green and I had just passed the light is when I seen it. |
